My roommate did some research on the Yankees schedule this season, and he came up with some very interesting data. Here’s the breakdown of the schedule by month.
Month | Home | Away | Total |
April | 7 | 15 | 22 |
May | 16 | 13 | 29 |
June | 14 | 12 | 26 |
July | 13 | 13 | 26 |
August | 16 | 13 | 29 |
September | 15 | 12 | 27 |
October | 0 | 3 | 3 |
First Half | 41 | 47 | 88 |
Second Half | 40 | 34 | 74 |
Total | 81 | 81 | 162 |
I guess the biggest noteworthy thing about the schedule is the Yankees are getting more road games out of the way in the first half, which gives them more home games down the home stretch.
Below are the dates of the series against the Red Sox and Mets, plus some notable games.
April 13 vs. Angels — home opener (ring ceremony)
April 4-7 at Red Sox
May 7-9 at Red Sox
May 17-18 vs. Red Sox
May 21-23 at Mets
June 15-17 vs. Phillies

June 25-27 at Dodgers
Aug. 6-9 vs. Red Sox
Sept. 24-26 vs. Red Sox
Oct. 1-3 at Red Sox
